Michael DiTullo Book of SketchesOur friend Michael DiTullo has a busy schedule as Creative Director working at Converse. He has found some time however to throw together a nice little compilation of sketches/ideology with the book Analog Dreams.
Here is an interesting excerpt from the writings of Mr. DiTullo:
“There is nothing like the potential in a fresh stack of blank paper. I see the paper and my hand starts to twitch with anticipation, my eye searches for a pen, and my brain automatically begins thinking about what objects in the room I might design differently. Anything is possible on a blank page. The unknown awaits and my imagination is my only limitation. If I mess the sketch up, another fresh sheet of paper is right underneath, begging to be drawn on.
What I love about sketching is how quickly an idea that exists only in my mind is transported into yours. A sketch is the most efficient form of visual language and it is universal. It is not surprising that the earliest records of human communications are paintings on cave walls. Our initial written languages were refined pictograms. We are hard wired to receive abstracted visual information.”
Hey, that’s pretty neat! I had heard about these self publishing websites.
Nice book!
Nice! Hey Spencer, have you considered doing a book of sketches, rendering, concepts, tutorials? I’ll definitely buy one if you do.
Thanks
So will I!!
I love the hot sketches you have uploaded, however, it would be nice, if you do someday publish a book, to have never before seen sketches/renderings on it.
Yup–would definitely buy it.
What? Unseen stuff? I already show everything
j/k yeah that would be fun to do Robert.
I’ve thought about it for sure, esp with sketch-a-day.com
I can spot a Blurb book a mile away…that’s not a bad thing!
ahh I would love to get this book! a bit pricy right now..:/
There is a striking resemblance to Daniel Simons work in Di Tullo’s book.

Nothing wrong with that. It’s good to be inspired. I don’t the the resemblance THAT much.
I agree with Spencer, it’s not wrong get inspired by other people’s work or style, anyway, the drawing is way too different than the Daniel Simon’s drawing.
